CONTRIBUTING

PLEASE NOTE: This document has not been updated in a while and is out of date, but contents are retained as some may still be useful.

TL;DR? The winston project recently shipped 3.0.0 out of RC and is actively working towards the next feature release as it continues to triage issues.

Looking for somewhere to help? Checkout the Roadmap & help triage open issues! Find an issue that looks like a duplicate? It probably is! Comment on it so we know it's maybe a duplicate 🙏.

What makes up winston?

As of winston@3 the project has been broken out into a few modules:

Let's dig in deeper. The example below has been annotated to demonstrate the different packages that compose the example itself:

const { createLogger, transports, format } = require('winston');
const Transport = require('winston-transport');
const logform = require('logform');
const { combine, timestamp, label, printf } = logform.format;

// winston.format is require('logform')
console.log(logform.format === format) // true

const logger = createLogger({
  format: combine(
    label({ label: 'right meow!' }),
    timestamp(),
    printf(({ level, message, label, timestamp }) => {
      return `${timestamp} [${label}] ${level}: ${message}`;
    })
  ),
  transports: [new transports.Console()]
});

What about [email protected]?!

If you are opening an issue regarding the 2.x release-line please know that 2.x work has ceased. The winston team will review PRs that fix issues, but as issues are opened we will close them.

You will commonly see this closing [email protected] issues:

Development `[email protected]` has ceased. Please consider upgrading to
`[email protected]`. If you feel strongly about this bug please open a PR against
the `2.x` branch. Thank you for using `winston`!

Could this be implemented as a format?

Before opening issues for new features consider if this feature could be implemented as a custom format. If it is, you will see your issue closed with this message:

This can be accomplished with using [custom formats](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#creating-custom-formats) in `[email protected]`. Please consider upgrading.
